July Stars

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast your host, Ann-Louise Holland, explains why this month's stars will ‘blow the bloody doors off!’, not just because of the North Node meeting Uranus, meeting Mars at the end of the month. We start the month with a real door-slamming entrance because Mars is the god of war, god of sex, knows what to do, knows where he’s going, comes with a sword, really good at cutting things off, really getting through to the nub of things. He makes a challenging square  aspect  to Pluto, the other maleficent.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Mars really likes to take action, so when it hits Pluto like this it could be the push we all need to get out of a situation, to say something, to say something, to really say I’m leaving and this is the push that pushes me over the edge. Mercury moved into Cancer, which is a much softer, empathetic sign. It’s also the feminine, so it’s an opportunity to use  and start speaking in software terms and start getting ideas to get what you want. Mars moves into Taurus (meaning the Earth, our bodies and also  to connect with what’s happening later in the month where Mars joins both Uranus and the North Node in this explosive conjunction happening on the 31st or the 1st August. It’s like the full moon is sending a moonbeam right down to Pluto in the underworld of the business and corporate and political and medical worlds, to look at all the darkness of all that’s going on like the Hammer House of Horror with the bats flying around it like the White House, 10 Downing Street, Bank HQs, etc.    BEST MOMENTS ‘Although these are two very dark and often connected to the shadows and can leave places – Mars can be like a knife – they can be an opportunity to get out of somewhere.’ ‘The self-talk you give yourself can be levelled to be much kinder self-talk within these really hard times.’ ‘On 11th July America had its Pluto return, the second hit of three. This means that in February Pluto came back around to where it was when the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776.’ ‘How brave are we? Have we just become compliant and allowing and following rather than brave. How free are we?’   ABOUT THE HOST Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/venusandvesta/?hl=en   Website - https://www.venusandvesta.com  Ann-Louise Holland is a shamanic homoeopath, herbalist and astrologer.  She teaches astrology along with Steiner based anthroposophy, both of which are concerned with cultural events that bring about humanity's evolution and awareness to the soul's journey.  Venus & Vesta is a podcast about astrology for astrologers, monthly updates on the movements of the planets and asteroids, weekly detailed discussions, aligning the stars with what is happening in the world.
